    ANYONE SHOOTING LEAD OUT OF A RUGER SR9c?

    If so what mold?

    What size?

    Any chamber issues?

    THANKS

    I have shot a few from my buddy's sr9, had a little leading, but I think that the gritty finish ruger puts in those barrels hase something to do withit. My Lc9 had major leading problems till I firelaped the barrel a little.

    Yep, lead is all I shoot out of mine. I use the Lee 358-125-F and 356-120-TC cast from WW water dropped. Most of the time I use Bullseye and Unique. I don't push them too hard, 960 fps or so.
    Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.

    Boolits for SR9

    Click image for larger version.  Name: DCP_0649.jpg  Views: 147  Size: 41.0 KB  ID: 65307All I shoot in my SR9 is lead, mostly Lee 356-120-TC. Had leading problems due to ruger rough bore. Did a little fire lapping which improved things a lot. Now I powder coat all my 356-120-TC's. That really ended the leading problem and improved accuracy. Load with Bullsye, Unique and more recently Titegroup. Like the titegroup. Good accuracy and cleaner burning.
